RE: Anti-skate and heavier tracking force...

Which Empire arm do you have? All 3 listed on VE have an antiskate facility, but it is likely that the list is incomplete. The 980 and 990 shown on VE have the standard "weight on a thread" solution.

As John has already pointed out, the physics dictates the requirement for antiskate.
The antiskate force is typically 10% of the downforce. If you choose not to use antiskate (or lack the facility), then as the groove modulation increases in amplitude you will have increasing distortion in the R-ch and correspondingly greater wear on the R-ch scanning surface of the tip i.e uneven wear of the tip.
